Overview:

General Chuikov desperately wanted to gain complete control of the main ferry landings, which had fallen into German hands, and were prefect locations for the Germans to interdict reinforcements crossing the Volga. Help was on the way in the form of the 284th Rifle Division, commanded by the smart, aggressive Col. Batyuk. Apprised of the new tactics and techniques used around the city, he replied, “Comrade Commander, I have come to fight Nazis, not for a parade. I have Siberians in my regiments. ..” The 284th was ferried over under fire in predawn and early morning hours of the 23rd. The Soviet objectives were thus to recapture the main ferry landings, gain ground toward the central rail station, and drive south to link up with the isolated remnants of the 92nd and 42nd Brigades fighting in the southern part of the city. The Russian attack hit just as the Germans were mobilizing for an assault of their own.

2011-05-20(D) Fred Ingram vs Jeff Coleman German winThis one is so huge it is hard to remember all that went on. Jeff conceded on turn 6 as it was apparent he could not move down the shoreline and take ANY piers. We misplayed the boats - thinking they only had 2 MP when in fact by VOTG special rule they have 4 MP. Jeff went on a huge sniper run midgame where he had 8 "1" snipers in a row just about taking apart then entire northwest contingent of germans. Good thing for reinforcments. He got 3 modules of artillery. The first one was HE and then he used the rest for SMOKE. That might have made the difference early as he just could not make any headway down the river bank.

2010-04-15(D) Eric Partizan Eric vs Michel Bongiovanni Russian win
2010-03-12(D) Ian Willey vs Martin Barker Russian winWhat can I say. Played over around 18 hours over one evening and the next day. Lots of backwards and forwards action and the game came down to the last dice roll with me pinning when I needed to break so lost but hard to see it that way after so much fun. Great game if you have the time.
